Activism


What you can do to prevent deforestation:

1. Plant a tree in your backyard. This will help prevent soil erosion.
2. Use recycled products, and reuse your own products.
3. For Farmers: Rotate your crops. This keeps the soil fertile, and helps it last longer.
4. Do not cut down young trees. If you have to, try to cut only the mature trees.
5. Limit the amount of products you use that have palm oil because in Indonesia and Malaysia it is a primary reason for deforestation.
6. Use coal instead of firewood in your fireplace.
7. Join activist groups. [see groups beow]
